I cannot believe they are gonna balls up all the hard work done on the 2 franchises. Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy was amazing and whilst the Man of Steel didn't quite hit ALL the points, it was almost there and a great reboot. Why mess all that up with the pairing of two completely separate franchises? The fan boys will love it, the fans of either will hate it. I am normally positive, but this to me smacks of failure waiting to happen. Look at the Lone Ranger and John Carter as two examples.....

In order to keep a continuous thread with Nolan's world, they would be missing a trick not to use Levitt. If they do use a different actor, he should at least play a bad ass robin or nightwing. Luthor will be films main villain, wreaking havoc whilst superman is distracted by Batman's unconventional crime-fighting methods.

Personally as a tremendous geek and lover of all things Batman I should be really excited about this but I am not...but I don't know why?! its one of those great mysteries of life like The Bermuda Triangle, Amelia Earheart, Gravity, why Orlando Bloom keeps getting acting work...I just can't put my finger on why?!

I just wish stuff like, I don't know, the slow & systemic CRATERING of this country could inspire the same call-to-arms as Batman casting

Didn't this story happen after the fall of the justice league? Do another superman film and then a justice league film to see what developes out of it. Then, start thinking of this story. Oh, and please, whoever directs, not too serious this time. Loved the Bat trilogy but lighten up!.....a little.

Firstly I think what needs to be covered, should Bale not return to the Batman role (which I think can work – as Nolan is still on set for Superman helping with production and writing!) is the new BATMAN. 3 options I believe would work are Michael Fassbender, Wes Bentley or Joe Manganiello. 3 VERY good options all able to fit into both the Bruce and Batman roles . Michael perhaps playing Batman, continued on from the Nolan Movies. (I’d like to see a 4th Batman with Levitt Robin and the Heroes already developed and experienced working together to fighting greater enemies – Killer Croc?) anyway.........

Now. The Movie – what should it be called? Well it NEEDS to be a Superman movie (because firstly the Batman movies have been done and succeeded) In addition the film will ultimately lead to the Justice League – if they take my direction ! – worth a try. So for a Title I’d consider something in line with - Superman: Beginnings.

Plot:- Well the film WILL have to strongly feature the duel everyone has been waiting for. SUPERMAN vs BATMAN. Not only to draw in the monies but it can, if written well, make for an amazing plot line over several movies........ Marvel have come close to VS (with the Avengers movie which featured a couple of VS bouts) but Superman and Batman can REALLY hit a home run with a seriously dark gritty showdown with the 2 biggest powerhouses of DC and perhaps the Comic World!? But how can it possibly be scripted that Batman can even come CLOSE to even scratching Superman I hear you ask?! Well I’ll touch on this another time, if I get enough likes lol but for now let’s focus on the movie in general. As I said before Superman vs Batman would HAVE play a big part of the movie, however this cannot be the main plot, even for the final showdown because we NEED these 2 to unite/ bond to even come close to forming the Justice league so what is required is an enemy that can test them both
